Triisopropyl borate → (5-Methoxy-1-benzofuran-2-yl)boronic acid

Temperature

-10 °C

The solution of 5-methoxybenzofuran (1.0 g, 6.76 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was kept below −60° C. under nitrogen, while BuLi (8.10 mmol, 2.5M solution in hexane) was added dropwise. It was warmed to −10° C. during 45 min and stirred at this temperature for another 30 min. The mixture was cooled again below −60° C., followed by dropwise addition of triisopropyl borate (3.8 g, 20.21 mmol). After warming to room temperature the mixture was quenched with hydrochloric acid (30 mL, 2N) and stirred for 1 h. The alkaline aqueous layer was brought to pH 5 and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×80 mL). All organic layers were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to give 5-methoxybenzofuran-2-ylboronic acid (986 mg, 76%), which was used for the next step without further purification.
